Frog of the Day

Frog Culture - Yellow Dart Poison Frog

It amazes me that people are able to keep these poison frogs as pets. In the wild just handling these frogs would kill you in very short order. It apparently has to do with diet and since they do not eat the same thing in captivity, they lose their toxicity. Cool, huh? I think I'll still continue to only take my chances with the plush though.

This frog collectible is from The 24K Company's Frog Culture line and is labelled Yellow Dart Poison Frog. It dates to 1997.
